[shuswap]

how many of you have had the experience of growing the original sweet skunk of breeder steves ?its been years since i have and im trying to remember its stretch and how to train her for the best scrog method,any ideas or input crew?

I got some sk1 goin' now.. You should flower a strain with alot of skunk.. By alot I mean better than 50%... It's gonna smell alot like pole cat,too.. Carbon filter would be advised. Your gonna love the yeild!Let it go for 6 1/2 weeks.

Thank you for your input! I'll not be back.. I've been on other forums and not had to deal with such rudeness.. Won't start now! That was a very short stent.. Input was the key word in the post I responded to. You don't have a clue as to how much for the cause I am and always will be!

Peace My Brutha!

 

[solarz]

Dude i don't give a shit how much for the cause you are...you started your "stint" here with a bullshit post. You provided no input, and that shit was barely able to be read. The OP asked about the ORIGINAL SWEET SKUNK clone...not Skunk #1. Also, it is going to go WELL past 6 1/2 weeks, so how about you learn a lil bit first, before you decide to give anymore "input".

Listen here! I'm old enough to be your Daddy! You got no respect for people at all! You came straight out of the box flamin! Skunk traits are skunk traits.Don't matter what you call the strain! I know more than you seem to think! Skunk #1 is the pillar plant of most of the strains that you will ever lay your hands on! What is it? You can't read? Finish Jr. High and you should be alright! If you knew anything about me,you would have had a little more respect! How bout find some for others in the future.. I think I'll stick around now!

Sweet Skunk isn't a skunk though.

I haven't grown the Sweet Skunk clone, but I have grown Fed's Island Sweet Skunk which is supposedly very similar to the original clone. It stretches a lot with lots of space between branches. It would do well with a ScrOG or with some training.

Island Sweet Skunk came to Federation by way of expat Vietnam veterans who settled on Vancouver Island in Western Canada. The parent is a 1970s California Skunk #1 strain which was referred to as "Sweet Skunk". Stabilized outdoors, Island Sweet Skunk remains Federation's most prolific variety with outdoor yields averaging a pound per plant.

Sweet Skunk doesn't have any Skunk #1 in it. IIRC, it is Sweet Pink Grapefruit x NL/Haze. It goes 10 + weeks in flower and isn't a big yielder.

Northern lights has SK1 in it. So.. Breeding of these crosses has had Sk1 in them..

First off, you don't know me, nor my age...so for you to make a comment like that is asinine!!

Secondly, Sweet Skunk...is not a SKUNK! So my previous comment stands...learn a lil bit before you TRY to give input. You are talking apples and oranges. I know about Skunk #1...bro, this aint my first rodeo!

Third, i dont give a shit about you and who you are, nor do i care to...you gave incorrect input, so i corrected you, it has nothing to do with respect. If Gypsy (whom i do respect) came into this thread and gave incorrect info, i'd correct his ass too....plain and simple.

As for your off centered remarks towards my intellect...i've started and completed my fair share of degrees, but that has nothing to do with Sweet Skunk (nor Skunk #1), so i shall leave it at that. You can huff and puff all you want "old timer", but you still don't know shit about Sweet Skunk (which you made blatantly obvious, without my help), and that is why you got your ass handed to you, it has shit to do with respect.

Finally, maybe you should read, or learn to...because you came into a post talking about Skunk 1...and it had absolutely nothing to do with the OP. Get a clue!

I will break this down for you my slow friend....

THIS THREAD IS ABOUT the SWEET SKUNK CLONE.

The history you gave in the above post is referring to Island Sweet Skunk, NOT Sweet Skunk. They are 2 different strains bro. Please do some research to find out why you are so massively wrong in this thread. The OP is referring to Breeder Steves cut...not the federation CROSS. Its like comparing Barney's Sweet Tooth, to SOL's sweet tooth....just can't do it, because they are different strains, regardless of the name!

[WelderDan]

Which NL are you referring to? NL#1 is pure Indica. NL#5 was hybridized with Haze and back crossed to the NL cutting several times. It might have some skunk in it, but if it does, it's lost to history. Nobody really knows, it's all rumor.

Even if it does have Skunk in it, the amount is only a tiny percentage since it started as a pure Indica cutting and was only crossed with Dutch varieties to make seed, then back crossed multiple times to the NL cutting.

You are arguing semantics. Breeder Steve is the only one that knows for sure, and even then, he may not know for sure.

The Island Sweet Skunk is Breeder Steve's Sweet Skunk crossed to White Widow.

As WD posted above, the genuine Sweet Skunk clone is SPG x NL/Haze one of the best strains on the planet.

Don't let it get rootbound and flower it for at least 9 weeks, 11 is even better!

Responds very well to topping and likes Mg just like Sweet Tooth and slightly more alkaline medium than most strains. It may seem kind of lanky or floppy in veg but excels in flowering stage. If you have the real deal clone it will be very lemony citrus aroma to the buds and have a distinctive haze incense smell when smoked you can recognize anywhere! Very euphoric uplifting buzz with happy buzzy sativa overtones gets you lifted!

SOTF, thanks for adding the insight to the Sweet Skunk clone....i got side tracked, and didn't give any input to the OP.

I LOVE sweet skunk (about like you with the Toof...lol), from the taste, to the high, to the smell, even the smell once its smoked and you re-enter the room a few minutes later. Its divine, to put it lightly. My only issue is its hard as shit to get your hands on the original clone...its guarded pretty tightly!

please stick to fact not fantasy your love for BS is there to see but clouds the truth... but pls do tell me how it is Breeder Steves cut when he was handed it and did nothing!....

it also contains NO SPG !!!!!

Sweet Skunk was originally introduced by Spice of Life Seeds in 1994. The heritage was listed as Sensi Seed’s Big Skunk x Sweet Pink Grapefruit (a.k.a. Grapefruit) at the time, but Breeder Steve later speculated that the father was likely a NL x Haze male rather than a Big Skunk. This makes sense; the Southeast Asian “Hazey” bud structure is hard to ignore. Apparently, Steve had obtained two trays of clones for a grow, one labeled “Big Skunk” and the other “NL x Haze.” Upon planting and flowering the clones, one of the trays turned out to have a male that pollinated the crop, producing the seeds sold as Sweet Skunk. (Sometimes unplanned hybridization can yield outstanding individuals.) F1 seeds were planted, and an extreme sativa-leaning selection (SS #10) was chosen out of a roomful of indica-dominant girls. This clone is now known in BC as the original Sweet Skunk clone.

The sweet skunk clone wasn't even selected by steve... So who really knows the heritage. According the the cannabis cowboy, Steve showed up with a half dead clone in a paper bag at the cowboy's place.. A customer had brought it in to Harvest Springs and told steve it came from the Sweet Skunk seedlot and produced something special. Steve asked the cowboy to try to make sure it lived... And it did... But the 'chain of custody' is pretty weak as far as authentication. Additionaly, the 'supposed' NL X Haze plant which was passed onto steve as clones, were A) supposed to be female and B) labelled Big Skunk. All this tellms me, it could be ANYTHING.

The genetic tests I ran on the SS showed clearly no markers associated with the SPG- so it's not related to the GF. Phenotypically, ANYONE who has grown more than a few dozen plants from seed will tell you that they share absolutely ZERO in terms of similarity.... And to say otherwise I would suggest is proof you havent grown the real clones.

 

[SOTF420]

The male used to pollinate the SPG clones he was flowering was purported to be the NL/Haze...therefore it does have the GF parent even if it's not present in great quantity phenotypically speaking in the SOL Swt Sk clone. Hell half of what people are passing around as Sweet Skunk is not really the Sweet Skunk anyways but clones of plants from the S1's if you are lucky but more likely ISS clones! I held the legit SOL clone for years, several years back it took me a trip to Canada by car from NJ to get the fucking thing from a VERY reputable source I won't name and I can tell you there is definitely a SPG component in it but not nearly as much as something like say Sweet Tooth or LUI. The real clone is very sativa leaning but has that familiar SOL citrus body to it. The flowering period is a bit long for my tastes.

Here is a cross I made of it with an early Swt#4 and BB. This plant was very Swt Sk leaning but done in just about 7 weeks and potency was outstanding it smelled like licorice, citrus, & starfruits.
